Abstract

In this study, we mainly focused on a theoretical analysis of HomePlug 1.0 and an experimental analysis of modem data rates through a section of a PLC network with several configurations. We introduce the utilization of the MIMO technique to increase the throughput over a PLC channel. Besides, we propose a MIMO PLC channel model to evaluate the channel transfer function of MIMO PLC. We used an equivalent per-unit-length model of the indoor power line network to characterize the three-conductor cable. Based on this mathematical model, we analyzed the throughput of the PLC network with different household appliances. The equivalent circuit of each appliance is also given. The simulation results showed that the throughput is influenced by household appliances connected to the sockets of a MIMO PLC network. Moreover, we also compared the throughput between single and multi-antenna systems. Based on the simulation results, we found that the data rate increased with frequency. In addition, the performance of the MIMO PLC system was almost 90% higher than that of a SISO PLC system in terms of channel capacity.

MIMO PLC网络吞吐量的实验与理论分析

在这项研究中，我们主要关注HomePlug 1.0的理论分析和通过具有几种配置的PLC网络的一部分对调制解调器数据速率的实验分析。我们介绍了利用MIMO技术来增加PLC信道上的吞吐量。此外，我们提出了一个MIMO PLC信道模型来评估MIMO PLC的信道传递函数。我们使用室内电力线网络的单位长度等效模型来表征三芯电缆。基于这个数学模型，我们分析了不同家电产品的PLC网络的吞吐量。文中还给出了各电器的等效电路。仿真结果表明，连接到MIMO PLC网络插座的家用电器会影响吞吐量。此外，我们还比较了单天线和多天线系统之间的吞吐量。基于仿真结果，我们发现数据速率随着频率的增加而增加。此外，就信道容量而言，MIMO PLC系统的性能几乎比SISO PLC系统高出90%。
